| description | This open access introduction to the major Mexican philosopher and activist Luis Villoro shows how his ideas can reshape contemporary thought. Carlos Montemayor tells the story, through a philosophical lens, of this leading Mexican thinker and his quest for justice and freedom. At the heart of the book is Villoro’s liberational approach to knowledge production. He believed an education aimed at integrating freedom with knowledge stands in opposition to escapist epistemologies which unfortunately dominate our times. From Villoro’s early writings on epistemology and Mexican history to his involvement in Zapatismo, we find out how his ideas turned into actions. This is a compelling portrait of one of the most important figures in 20th-century Mexican philosophy. For anyone interested in Latin American perspectives it is an essential guide to the work of a philosopher who spent most of his life trying to understand the complexity of the American continent and its original habitants.
